Thank you for taking the time to read this.

My name is Claire and I am a single mum whose daughter is currently trapped in Thailand. 

I have created this page to help provide kayleigh with safe accommodation and basic amenities whilst being forced to remain in Thailand. Kayleigh is currently awaiting for her legal documents to be returned to her to allow her to come back to the Uk which she has been told will be 3-6 months. 

On my own I can only afford to offer financial support to Kayleigh for 1 month. 

Kayleigh and her friend went on holiday last week and has ended up being wrongfully arrested. She was held in a cell with appalling conditions and law enforcement wouldn’t listen to a word she said.

I have gone through every avenue from lawyers to the embassy and I’m getting no where, apart from being told her passport has been confiscated and she has to stay in Thailand for 3-6 months.

I am trying to get her story told but no one in Thailand is listening.

As of Monday the 26th of January Kayleigh's friend is flying home, she will be left all alone and scared. Kayleigh suffers with her mental health due to past traumas and being alone with her own thoughts is petrifying me. I am all she has and I feel I'm failing her by not being able to get her home safely.

Kayleigh has never been in any kind of trouble before as that is not in her nature, she has a big heart but is unfortunately too trusting and has ended up in a situation where we don't know who we can fully trust to fight for her, The corruption in Thailand is making this impossible as they already demanded cash from Kayleigh which she didn't have to buy her freedom and not get arrested. They wanted 40,000 baht (£947) in cash there and then.

I had to appoint Kayleigh a lawyer to bail her out of the police station which cost me just under £1000.

I hate asking for help but I'm desperate and unfortunately the costs are mounting up. Any help towards accommodation, legal fees and even the basics of food and toiletries would be appreciated beyond belief. 

As a mum all we ever want is to keep our children safe and happy, I cant achieve this without help and getting her back in the country.

I'm besides myself with worry and unfortunately this is my last resort. I never ask for help but on this occasion i have to swallow my pride as I cant do this alone.

My heart is broken and I need my daughter back in my arms where she belongs.

The trauma she has already experienced will be hard enough of an adjustment when she returns, the longer they make her stay there the more damage it will do to her mental health.

Being scared for my daughters life is a feeling I hoped id never have to experience.

Please can you share Kayleigh's story far and wide, any donations or advice would make such a huge difference.

Thankyou
